Mucocele of the paranasal sinuses

Abstract: Clinical and radiological findings in 112 patients with muco/pyocele in the paranasal sinuses are presented. The modified Lynch-Howarth operation gave a primary cure rate of 82% which is satisfactory compared with other reports. Histological examination of the mucocele membranes and anamnestic information support the theory that a mucocele develops secondary to obstruction of the sinus outlet.

“…Mucocoeles are common, expansile cyst-like lesions affecting the paranasal sinuses. 1 The majority occur in the frontal sinus, followed by ethmoid sinus, maxillary sinus, and sphenoid sinus. They grow gradually, expand in size, and rarely produce bony destruction of the sinus walls, 2 leading to orbital and ocular involvement.…”
